Chapter 375 4 Divine Beast Plan, the boss is calling!

Chapter 375 4 Divine Beast Plan, the boss is calling!

Lei Jun invested 10 billion!

Qin Han readily agreed and immediately called the company's legal department to sign the contract. In fact, there was a fixed contract template, so he just had to sign and stamp it.

However, he still called the company's legal director and finance director over to show his respect for Lei Jun.

After discussing the private placement,

The topic of their conversation turned to cars again. Lei Jun smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Qin is interested in selling Infinite Auto's battery replacement business?"

"Boss Lei is really well-informed!"

"Haha, this matter has spread throughout the industry now. I know it's not surprising, right? What do you think, Mr. Qin?"

"Battery replacement, I think this is a detour!"

"detour?"

"Yes."

Qin Han nodded, and then continued: "Although battery swapping is efficient and time-saving, and can be comparable to the charging efficiency of fuel vehicles to a certain extent, it also has many disadvantages. First of all, there are very few outlets. If you want to replace a battery, you sometimes have to travel dozens or even hundreds of kilometers. In this case, it is not very meaningful."

“Also, there is a psychological barrier for consumers.”

"Many people feel uncomfortable when they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car with a battery that is not their own. Many car owners are also concerned about the safety of the replacement battery, fearing that the replacement battery is of poor quality and may cause safety hazards while driving."

"Of course, I think it's too expensive to build a battery swap network, and the money spent won't produce very good results. The cost-effectiveness is too low and it's useless!"

Lei Jun nodded slowly, "Does President Qin really intend to sell the battery swap business?"

"good."

"Once the battery swap business is sold, some car owners will definitely be very dissatisfied!"

"That's right, but this is only a part of the car owners. Infinite Auto has only three battery-swap models, and there are only about 100,000 car owners who buy Infinite Auto's battery-swap models."

After a pause, Qin Han continued, "Infinite Auto will come up with some corresponding policies to provide to these car owners, such as selling new batteries at cost price, recycling old cars from the original factory, discounts on new car replacements, etc. Mr. Lei, are you interested in the battery replacement business? If Mr. Lei is interested, let's have a good talk. I will definitely give Mr. Lei a satisfactory price."

Hearing this,

Lei Jun did not comment. He smiled and said: "Although battery swapping has many shortcomings, it also has many advantages. The cost of buying a car is greatly reduced, the insurance premium is greatly reduced, and there is no need to worry about battery loss. These are all real benefits."

Qin Han was a little surprised, "Is Mr. Lei really interested?"

"Haha, not yet."

Lei Jun shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Dami currently has no plans to produce battery-swap models. I heard that President Qin has cut several product lines of Infinity Auto?"

"The product line is in disarray, the user group positioning is unclear, the prices are inflated, and the quality is average..."

Qin Han sighed, "There are too many problems. We have to cut them down!"

Speaking of this, he was speechless.

I really didn’t understand it, and I was shocked when I understood it.

Infinity Auto currently has a total of 9 models, the cheapest one is priced at 30 yuan!

Yes, the cheapest one!
But what time is it now?
It’s 2025 already!
What is the slogan of major new energy vehicle companies today?
Smart driving equal rights!

See what our competitors are doing?
For only 10 yuan, a friendly competitor can give you a car with advanced intelligent driving functions such as city NOA, highway NOA, and automatic parking!

Your cheapest car from Infinity Auto sells for 30!
When Qin Han saw the report, he almost cursed, what a bunch of pigs, a bunch of black-hearted people.

With such a high-end positioning, which idiot would buy your car?

If your sales aren’t bad, whose sales will be bad?
Losing 200 billion in one year, you deserve it!
So, after reading the financial statements, Qin Han immediately convened a board meeting and informed all directors that he would conduct a comprehensive review and cleanup of all the company's products.

He and the board of directors are still in the honeymoon period. After hearing his somewhat ridiculous request, all the shareholders expressed their agreement.

After the meeting,
Qin Han immediately called all the company's senior executives to hold a product strategy meeting.

He requested at the meeting:

1. Change the name.

The company’s current product names and models are too difficult to pronounce, hard to remember or say, not conducive to dissemination, and have no meaning at all. In general, they are just low!
2. The number of car models has been reduced, with only 4 models retained for the time being.

They are named after the four mythical beasts of China, namely: Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise and White Tiger.

Among them, Qinglong is the highest-end and most luxurious flagship model; Suzaku is the mid-range executive luxury model; Xuanwu is the SUV model; and Baihu is the low-end comfort model.

3. Based on the existing car models, re-optimize and modify them with reference to the behaviors of the four mythical beasts.

4. Gather all human, material and other resources to launch the first White Tiger model, which must be extremely cost-effective!
Good looks come first!

Quality comes first!

Functionality comes first!

To put it bluntly, this car must be all-round, good-looking, easy to use, safe, and cheap, so that it can instantly detonate the entire consumer market once it is launched on the market!
5. It lasts for half a year and must be listed!

Three months have passed and Infinity Auto’s new product, White Tiger 3, has completed the application to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and is being continuously optimized.

As soon as Lei Bushi brought up this topic, Qin Han knew that he wanted to inquire about the news of his new product. He smiled and said, "Su7 is in short supply. What else does President Lei have to worry about?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Lei Jun laughed, and then said: "I am not afraid of others, but this is the product that you, Mr. Qin, have been in charge of since you took office, and it is also the first product... I must pay attention to it!"

"Haha, I thought Mr. Lei was praising me."

"You can understand that."

Qin Han smiled and said, "In fact, Mr. Lei, don't worry. This new product from Infinity Auto will not have any impact on Su7. The two are not competing products."

"Oh?"

Lei Bush was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "In that case, this is a product that focuses on cost-effectiveness?"

The boss is worthy of being a boss, his brain works very quickly.

Qin Han did not hide it. In the near future, the Infinity Auto Marketing Department would take the initiative to warm up this new product. Moreover, Lei Jun was his ally, so he nodded.

"That's right, Infinity Auto's current market share is too low. Sometimes you can't even see Infinity Auto on the streets!"

“If we don’t quickly launch a product to increase our presence, then next year people probably won’t recognize what kind of car it is when they see the Infinity Auto logo…”

Lei Jun smiled and praised, "I'm looking forward to Mr. Qin's new product!" "Haha, it's almost there, it will definitely be on the market in the second half of the year. I've given everyone a military order that they must deliver on time. If there's a delay, everyone will be fired." Qin Han said.

"If you say so, then I'm looking forward to it even more!"

"Hahaha……"

……

Infinite Auto is now basically on the right track.

Qin Han only needs to check the progress from time to time and check the research and development progress.

So he started to think of something else.

——Build a headquarters building.

He acted immediately and asked Liu Li to publish a bidding notice for the headquarters design, and asked Su Wanru to look for a suitable location.

Under the temptation of a high nine-digit salary, calls came in from all over the world in just a few days, asking about design requirements, headquarters planning, etc.

Without exception, they are all large design companies, including some world-renowned teams.

"The team that responded to the tender this time is a luxurious lineup, and each company has a great background."

Liu Li tapped the touch screen, and the iconic works of each team appeared in the holographic projection one by one. "First is Zaha Hadid Architects. They are famous for their futuristic fluid design. The Aliyev Cultural Center and Beijing Daxing International Airport are their representative works."

"This time they proposed the concept of 'mechanical life' and planned to design the headquarters building into a dynamic streamlined appearance. The facade uses color-changing nano-materials, which can present different light and shadow effects according to the weather and time, like a solidified supercar, full of speed and power."

“The interior space breaks the traditional floor boundaries and uses a spiraling three-dimensional transportation system to allow employees to experience the integration of technology and art while traveling.”

"There is also Foster + Partners, who took 'symbiosis of ecology and technology' as their core concept, referring to the Apple Spaceship headquarters they designed. In this proposal, the headquarters building will be a huge ring-shaped building with a large ecological garden in the center, where various green plants and water features will be planted."

"As for the large area of ​​the exterior facade, double-layer Low-E glass curtain wall is used, which can not only ensure the lighting, but also effectively insulate and reduce energy consumption."

“An efficient solar panel array is installed on the top of the building to meet most of the building’s electricity needs. A rainwater collection system is also set up to recycle water resources, creating a truly green and smart headquarters.”

After a pause, Liu Li continued to introduce: "Gensler Architectural Design Office brought the concept of 'people-car connected community'. They conducted in-depth research on the relationship between smart cars and architectural space. In the design, the bottom floor of the building is directly connected to the underground smart garage. Vehicles can directly drive into the parking spaces corresponding to the office area through the automatic guidance system."

“The internal space layout is centered on team collaboration and innovative communication, with a large number of open office areas, multi-functional meeting rooms and creative workshops. It is also equipped with smart interactive screens to facilitate employees to share design inspiration and data at any time.”

"In addition, they have planned a dedicated car display and experience area where customers can experience Infinity's latest products and technologies up close."

"In addition, the SOM architectural design firm proposed the concept of 'City in the Clouds', drawing on the vertical city concept of the Shanghai Center Building they designed..."

"The headquarters building will be built into a super-high-rise landmark building, which will organically integrate various business formats such as office, commerce, leisure and residence through vertical layered functional layout. A sky garden and public activity platform will be set up every ten floors to provide employees with rest and social space."

"The building uses high-speed magnetic levitation elevators, which greatly shortens commuting time!"

"At the same time, setting up an observation deck and a helicopter pad on the top floor is not only a window to showcase the corporate image, but also provides convenience for business travel."

Qin Han listened attentively, his eyes occasionally moving over the projections of each team's design plans. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, lost in thought.

These design concepts are extremely creative and forward-looking, each with its own merits.

But the problem also arises. In order to implement the design plan perfectly, in addition to a lot of money, a large piece of land is also needed.

I don't lack money, I have plenty of this thing.

The only thing that is difficult to deal with is a huge piece of land!
Magic City?

He shook his head. Land in Shanghai is extremely expensive and land resources are extremely tight, so it is difficult to get a large piece of land.

Apart from Shanghai, Beijing is not considered either. There are too many great gods there and I don’t want to join in the fun.

The remaining ones are cities with relatively developed economies such as Shenzhen, Yangcheng, and Hangzhou.

Especially Pengcheng!
There are high-tech companies everywhere, such as Warwick, Penguin, etc.

But the problem is that Qin Han doesn't have much affection for these places, or he doesn't feel any affinity for them. He has never lived in these places and is not familiar with them.

So why build the headquarters there?

After thinking it over, he decided to talk to the local officials in his hometown.

——Zhengcheng.

Although Zhengcheng's economy is not as developed as those of first-tier cities, its business atmosphere is not as good as theirs, and its basic supporting facilities, education and medical care are also relatively weak.

But this is his hometown and he is from Yuzhou.

He was born here, grew up here, and his family is all here.

Needless to say, he had no ability before, but now he has the ability.

As the saying goes, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.

Qin Han does not want to help the whole world now, that is the job of big leaders, but he can still give back to his hometown, improve the business environment and economic development of his hometown, and provide some high-quality jobs for the people of his hometown.

Why did he stay in Shanghai after graduation?
It’s because I can’t find a suitable job opportunity when I return to Zhengcheng.

Thinking of this,

He asked Su Wanru to contact the local officials in Zhengcheng.

When they heard it was Niuniu Capital, the local officials in Zhengzhou asked: Who is it? What do they do?

Upon hearing that the boss of Niu Niu Capital is now the chairman of Infinity Automobile, Zheng Cheng’s officials became very enthusiastic: Oh, oh, it turns out to be Chairman Qin, what’s the matter with your company?
Su Wanru then told him that Niu Niu Capital was planning to acquire a piece of land in Zhengcheng to build its headquarters building. She also said that after the headquarters building is completed, all the companies invested by Niu Niu Capital, such as Infinity Automobile, would move there.

Upon hearing this, the officials in Zheng City were all shocked.

Unlimited cars?

Damn, these are the three giants of the new energy vehicle manufacturing force!
Zhengcheng is suffering from the lack of any enterprises to show off...

Immediately, the Zhengcheng Municipal Government sent a letter inviting Qin Han to visit Zhengcheng!

Qin Han felt very good to be invited by the local officials in his hometown.

But before he went back, he soon received a call from the provincial government. The other party claimed to be a senior official of the provincial government. Qin Han was immediately flattered and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

The two parties talked on the phone for a long time before hanging up.

The senior provincial government official did not say any important information, but only said that he heard that Chairman Qin wanted to give back to his hometown, and he expressed his gratitude on behalf of the people of his hometown.
